Lady Gaga and bras: More Singapore flag faux pas
The Government encourages Singaporeans and organisations to display the national flag during the National Day period from July 1 to Sept 30.
This means more flags, and more flags mean more flag foul-ups.
But are the complaints always justified?
Stomper Francis shared a photo of a sagging Singapore flag hung beside Block 358 Tampines Street 34 on National Day.
"It pains me to see this," said the Stomper.
"Whoever hung this has no place in Singapore. By all means, show your love for our country, but do it with dignity and wholeheartedly, and surely not in such a disrespectful manner. If you don't have a heart, just don't hang it. That's that.
"What a disgrace to our founding fathers who steered Singapore to what we see today!"
Another Stomper shared a photo of a tangled-up Singapore flag at Block 629 Bedok Reservoir Road on Aug 25.
"It's hanging like a surrender flag," said the Stomper.
Stomper W was similarly dismayed by the way a row of flags was displayed at the Block 468A Segar Road multi-storey carpark.
"Very disgraceful and disturbing to see our flag like that," said the Stomper.
Stomper Vincent shared a photo of a bunting with little Singapore flags all flown upside down at Block 23 Yishun Street 11.
He said: "I never really noticed untilI I sat on the bench below it and raised my head."
Another Stomper was saddened by our national emblems being placed where people queue for the bus.
"At Ang Mo Kio interchange, I noticed they hung the Merlion and Singapore crescent and five stars at the railing where commuters rest their butt. So sad. Nowadays, our flags and Singapore symbols mean nothing," lamented the Stomper.
Stomper Rommel came across an Instagram post showing the national flag with a photo of singer Lady Gaga on it in someone's room.
"Is this a form of defacing the Singapore flag?" asked the Stomper.
On Reddit, someone posted a photo of the Singapore flag hung at a Housing Board block with three brassieres over it.
This is certainly not the breast way to celebrate the nation's birthday.
According to the National Heritage Board, when words or graphics are used together with the image of the national flag, they should be placed below or beside the image rather than above or on the image itself.
Also when displayed from homes, the flag should not be obscured or overlapped by laundry or footwear.
Offenders may be fined up to $30,000, jailed for up to six months, or both.
